Phase 9 integrates Phases 1–8 into asra-v1.0-phase9: the final ARC Prize 2026 competition agent, unified architecture narrative, evaluation report framing, and Decision Biology extension section. The article presents integration theory and communication deliverables; a companion Kaggle notebook submits the v1.0 agent.
Technical specification for the official ARC Prize 2026 Kaggle evaluation contract: validation vs scoring rerun, gateway sidecar integration, agent registration, submission.parquet schema, template-agent requirements, and shared ASRA notebook tooling. Documents the root cause of generic Kaggle Error failures and the gateway pattern that produced the first successful submission.
Interim consolidated evaluation report for ASRA: three tracks (gateway plumbing, competition scores, repeated-run learning), Phase 1–2 Kaggle results, Phase 2 Original ARC benchmark summary, agent version ladder, and roadmap to v1 after Stage 1 gateway migration completes.
Unified architecture reference for the Adaptive Scientific Reasoning Agent (ASRA): nine cognitive layers from experience logging through integration and submission, with read/write contracts, end-to-end data flow, storage schemas, deployment shapes, and links to Phase 1–9 SciLayer preprints.
